Not many people have probably heard of sustainable
investing. It sounds like someone is investing in the sustainable industry.
This kind of investing is rather new and is making some waves in corporate
boardrooms across the country.
Social change and investing to advance social, economic and
environmental change is rapidly becoming the topic of choice in boardrooms.
Companies want to show investors, employees and vendors that the corporation as
whole is a caring one. Climate change is one way in which sustainable investing
has become a major business topic. People want to know that companies are doing
everything they can to reduce their footprint on the Earth.
The forward movement to invest more responsibly is known
under several labels: ethical green and socially responsible, ESG or
environmental, social or governance. US Media Studios notes that no matter what
label corporate boards use, any positive movement that improves the world in
which we live –here and far—is good. When social and ethical policies trickle
down to employees chances are fewer will leave in the long run.
Sustainable investing can also applied individually when
consumers do their part. Buy products and services from the companies with a
solid ethical stance on the environment, climate change, and social issues.
Shift investing portfolio options to more socially responsible corporate
enterprises.
